Ronaldo basically started getting a bit huffy when it wasn't going his way. He also got very greedy a couple of times, which led him in to dead ends. Fergie was screaming at him from the touch lines.


Good as he is (and he is very good), he doesn't react well when it's not going his way IMO.

Ok, Keef, so what would you do in Fergie's position? Sell him straight away because he didn't pass the ball? I'm not sure what you want me to say. He could react by kicking lumps out of people like Joey Barton or disappearing from the game like Nicolas Anelka. Is it worse that he stuck his lip out a bit and tried to score on his own? I mean, give us break....

FA Cup Final tomorrow and I'm in two minds as to who I want to win. Hiddink to bow out with a trophy but having Drogba running around on a lap of disgrace like a spoilt brat, or David Moyes reminding the world from an open top bus that even though they can't fill Goodison Park they're actually the 'Peoples club'..


I think I'm going to cheer (very quietly) for Chelsea... maybe

Keef, footballers are human like the rest of us, warts and all, and yes Ronaldo can be a tw@t (is that what you wanted to hear?), there are even a few on this thread. I don't expect people to come on here praising Utd, but all we ever seem to get is cheap pops, it's easy to blank the juvenile delinquents amongst us, but I expect better from you.


To counter all this negativity, I'd like to say what a model professional Ryan Giggs has been, 11 English league titles, a feat unlikely to be equalled let alone bettered by anyone else, a credit to himself and his club, who took defeat on Wednesday with great dignity, a living legend!..I'm off with my rose tinted spectacles to enjoy the sun :)-D

got to be Everton for me just because they are the underdogs. Matt, isn't that whole 'people's club' thing just the same as people saying that people from Manchester only support City? It's a way that a less successful club in a city can try and gain some dignity?

Show me where I've had a pop at United (i can promise you that you both, SP especially, have had more pops at other teams than I have about anyone!)? Couldn't agree more about Giggs, and just think Ronaldo would earn a lot more respect if he behaved a bit more like that.


Victim complex or what!


Aaaanyway, hoping for a good game tomorrow. Not a huge fan of either team, but would be pleased to see either manager walk away with a trophy.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
